You've just gotten comfortable at the dinner table.  The food looks great and it's one of the rare occassions where the whole family is there.  The conversation is interrupted by a ringing phone and on the other end of the line, "Good evening, my name is_______ and I hope I haven't interrupted anything but I have some fantastic news about your eligibility for  more insurance coverage..." 

How excited are you about calls like that?

Yet, if you have a family, a…

What is Different?

10 years ago customers had fewer brands, fewer models and less information than they do these days. I don't need to tell you how competitive the automotive market is today. Based on this fact if you think monthly programs and product are enough to sell cars you would be wrong.

Things have changed in the automotive market…

What would a Professional Service Advisor do?



Professional Service Advisors are prepared for the day ahead of them and don't get caught in the "why bother because everyday is the same and nothing changes" rut.



Now, why is this so important? I mean, c’mon, isn't every day just the same?



Open the door, reset the alarm, start the coffee, turn on the computers, check for night drops, check your email, flip through the stack of carry-overs, etc, etc,…

How many times have you overheard a sales person mishandle the call?  

Now imagine rather than just railing on him you could send him/her to a place to be corrected immediately and in real time on what they did incorrectly.  And the entire correction with testing would only take 2 minutes to ensure this incorrectly handled call doesn't get mishandled again.…

Does your sales and business…

Today I was asked to answer this question, and it got me thinking... maybe you guys would like to give your input as well..

If someone is described as having a great "work ethic", what qualities, characteristics, or specific actions do you expect that person to exhibit?

The phone is still the strongest weapon for a sales person in their arsenal, and sales people need to use their sales skills to make the most of every phone call with a customer.

Answering a Phone Up/Lead

When you have an incoming call coming in, or also known in the car business as a phone up, you need to know how to capitalize on them.  When the customer is calling you on a specific product you have or offer they can be…

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, but the road to success is paved with a good plan. Many people wrongly confuse intentions with a plan. Both are needed for success, but on different planes. It takes intentions to form the mental attitude, but it takes a plan to bring your intentions to reality. An intention without a plan is like having a Lamborghini…

Everyday I train I tell my class , that having the ability to precisely defone the goals  and create…

In 1982 I had the biggest blessing ever in the car business.  "Bruce" hired me as a sales person.  Bruce was the GM of a small Ford store in NJ and I was still finding my way around the business.  All I knew for sure was that I wanted to be a sales manager.  At that time, I couldn't tell a good one from a bad one but I still wanted to be one. …

Office Management is compiling all of the numbers to generate Service Management commissions over the next couple of days.  There are factors that you control as an ongoing basis...there are others that you do not address until after the fact.  Did your Warranty Administrator submit for the maximum allowable dollars (100%) vs. their peer indexes this month?  How much is being applied to your policy adjustment account because of claim non-payment or claim debit? 

In Fixed Operations,…

First of all, Happy Labor Day weekend to everyone!

Now…..why are so many of you “laboring” so hard out there?

Why is it that so many managers today have to do more with less, and get better results from limited resources, more than ever…

Within the past year, Maryland has been hit by an earthquake and a hurricane (in the same week!), as well as a huge snowstorm, all fairly uncommon occurrences in our state.  While DealerOn, both the office and our employees, were lucky enough to dodge any real damage, it definitely made us all think about how prepared we are for these kinds of emergencies.

DealerOn had enough warning before Hurricane Irene (and dodged…
